STACKER works great on an IBM PS/1. However, There are a few things
you must do before and after installing STACKER on an IBM PS/1. The
following step-by-step procedure will prepare your PS/1 for STACKER:
Procedure:
Note: Step 1 is recommended, but not required.
1. Start IBM DOS from the 4th quadrant screen. Click on "Backup and
Restore Your Fixed Disk" and press . Follow the prompts that
you are given to backup all of the files on your fixed disk.
NOTE: The number of diskettes will vary depending on the amount of
data on your hard disk.
2. Press + to get to the DOS prompt after completing the
backup.
3. Type c:\dos\CUSTOMIZ and press the key to setup the system.
(Customiz can also be run from the IBM DOS quadrant.)
4. The third line from the bottom of the screen says "Read
Config.sys:". Click on "From Disk".
5. The next line down says "Read Autoexec.bat:". Click on "From Disk".
6. The last line says "Disk to read from:". Click on "C:".
7. Press to save the changes and exit CUSTOMIZ.
8. Restart your system by pressing ++.
NOTE: At this point your computer will boot directly to the DOS
prompt.
9. You can now install STACKER by inserting the STACKER diskette and
typing: A:INSTALL /B=C
At the end of the STACKER install let STACKER reboot
to access the STACKER drive. This will again take you to the DOS
prompt.
10. To restore the PS/1 system menu, edit the Config.sys on drive C:
and insert the line: INSTALL=D:\SHELLSTB.COM (STACKER 2.0 users can use
SEDIT to modify Config.sys.)
11. Restart the system for changes to take affect.
